Consent to the creation of Leonardo Rheinmetall Military Vehicles (LRCV) issued the German office of Bundeskartellamt. The president of Rheinmetall Armin Papperger expressed his gratitude for the fast decision-making by the anti-trust office ([the formation of the company was announced mid-October last year](https://defence24.pl/industrial/European-weight-path-tank-airbus-ma-competition-from-south), so it has been only 3 months since then).
